cooled industrial engine has been added to Excel Hustler line of com-mercial mowers built by Excel In-dustries, Inc.

The significant difference be-tween the new model 295 and the acre-proven 285 is its engine. Unlike automotive type engines commonly installed on mowers, this 2-cylinder, long stroke Continental engine develops high torque at lower RPM, which adds to engine life and delivers superior performance. Its m a n u f a c t u r e r c l a i m s e a s i e r servicing, lower upkeep, and less downtime; Excel engineers are enthusiastic, viewing it as the ideal choice to meet market demands by groundskeepers whose specs require a liquid-cooled engine.

Dual hydrostats move each drive wheel independently, with twin hand levers that control both the speed and direction of movement, including the start and stop as well as reverse. The big 72" mower can perform intricate turns without time-consuming antics that mark ordinary mower operation; this also relieves operator fatigue, a claim based on in-put from present Excel Hustler owners.

The line is built with a full safety package, and attachments that per-mit year-round use of the tractor are available. Excel Hustler mowers qualify for GSA and HUD purchases.

Terrain King Corporation. Off-Set has a cutterhead that delivers a full 5V2 foot cut and utilizes a unique float system that allows this cutter-head to follow the contour of the terrain without operator control.

One feature is its exclusive, patent -pending shock absorb ing system. This system acts as a release mechanism, allowing the cutterhead to move rearward when obstructions are hit. By doing so, it is both an ac-cident preventor and cost eliminator. The action gives the operator added time to react and avoid sudden, dangerous jolts. And it protects trac-tor frames and bell housings from costly damage and repairs.

A second feature is the parallel linkage system. This system makes the Off-Set the only machine of its type that can lift the cutterhead over obstructions without tilting the out-side edge upward and exposing the rotary blades. It can lift the cutter-head from 5 inches below grade to 13 inches above grade while main-taining a constant relative angle to the ground. This not only means added speed advantages, but overall machine safety.


hollow shaft for direct pto mounting or 1V4 inch solid shaft for coupling to pto tumberod.

The pump's positive displace-ment design, providing high pressure performance, makes it ideally suited for servicing long dischage lines on transfer equipment and large scale spray rigs which require higher pressures to supply extra boom noz-zles and check valves. The pump handles a full variety of agricultural chemicals including plain water. An added benefit is its self-priming ability. It is self-priming to 10 ft. (lifts 22 ft/primed).


The Off-Set is now o f f e r e d by

Solo announces the availability of its new Floating Pump, Model 830. Powered by one of the company's time proven 4 hp, 2-cycle engines (92 cc) displacement, 5.6 cu. in., it delivers up to 5,800 gallons per hour (22,000 litres per hour) to a total head of 100 feet (30m).

E n c a s e d in a unique plastic floating body; this pump is buoyant

and most important derives the li-quid from the cleanest area — only inches below the surface, reducing priming time to almost nil. Suction hoses are not needed. The pump's central intake port is away from mud and grit and a screen protects the in-ternal parts, which are made of high impact plastic.

Weighing only 26 lbs., this pump is easily transportable and was designed for its practicability and economy.


The newest and smallest member of the Water-Winch traveling sprinkler line is announced by Ag-Rain, Incor-porated. The WW-1400M is designed specifically for use on small acreage, and should be of in teres t for farmers; flower, fruit and vegetable growers; athletic fields and parks; sod farms and golf courses.

Powered by A-Rain's exclusive patented radial inflow turbine drive, the WW-1400M has inf initely variable travel speeds with 1000 foot maximum travel distance. This com-pact traveling sprinkler has wide flotation tires and uses 2Vi" hose that can be reeled onto the built-in hose spool by attached PTO shaft. The WW-1400M has a flow capacity of 60 to 150 gallons per minute and incor-porates most of the proven features of the larger Ag-Rain travelers.


The new Davis W4, a compact Vz yd3

articulated loader with standard features normally foiwid on larger equipment, was recently introduced by The Davis Division at J I Case.

The economically-priced W4 is powered by a standard 26.4 kW (35 hp gross) 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, and was designed to handle a wide range of construction and utility loading jobs. Other stan-dard features include 4-wheel hydrostatic drive with mechanical 2-speed transmission, a mechanical self-leveling bucket, bucket level in-dicator gauge, power steering, easy loader controls, and an electric cold-start preheat system.

Center-pivot steering allows 70° total hydraulic articulation — the front and rear wheels always follow the same track. Combined with total frame oscillation of 16°, the W4 pro-vides stable ground contact over rough terrain.

The new loader has a total break-out force of 2381 kg (5250 lbs) and total hydraulic lift capacity of 2858 kg (5700 lbs) at ground level. Maximum loading height for the W4 with full dump clearance is 3121 mm (91.4").

Massey-Ferguson introduces six new compact tractors designed to meet increasingly important uses for trac-tors in the smaller size range. The new line features high cubic-inch-displacement diesel engines ranging from 20 to 31 engine horsepower (16 to 26 PTO hp). Three of the six are among the few four-wheel-drive m a c h i n e s a v a i l a b l e in N o r t h America in this power range.

The six tractors are the 20-hp MF 205, the 25-hp MF 210 and the 31-hp MF 220 plus their four-wheel-drive counterparts, the MF 205-4, the MF 210-4 and the MF 220-4.

The MF 210 and MF 220 two-wheel -dr ive tractors feature ad-justable, swept-back front axles as standard equipment. The other four models have standard axles. Differ-ential locks and both hand and foot throttles are standard.

All models are equipped with a 540-rpm, transmission-driven rear PTO with overrunning clutch. Front PTO capability will be available on all models.

The new small tractors feature large-capaci ty hydraulic pumps. These provide position control for the hydraulic linkage on the MF 205 and MF 210.

The Model 300 Shredder-Mixer, a high capacity organic materials pro-cessor, has been introduced by the Environmental Products Division of Royer Foundry & Machine Co., Kingston, Pa. The new unit is sized for processing topsoil, composted leaves and sewage sludge, peat, and other organic materials.

T h e a l l - h y d r a u l i c , d i e s e l -powered Model 300 features Royer's patented cleated-belt which pro-vides continuous four-step pro-cessing that shreds, mixes, and aerates up to 75 cubic yards of m a t e r i a l per hour whi le auto-m a t i c a l l y s e p a r a t i n g n o n -shreddables.

The power system on the Model 300 combines a 58 hp diesel engine with hydraulics to produce smooth per formance . Hydraulic controls permit the operator to govern the speed of the conveyor as it feeds material to the shredding belt.

Loaders of IV2 or 2 cubic yards can be used to fill the shredder-mixer's 2.34 cubic yard receiving h o p p e r . In opera t ion a 20-inch inclined conveyor belt, built into the large hopper, delivers material to the machine's high speed, patented shredding belt. Thousands of tem-pered steel cleats on the belt shred the material in an endless raking ac-tion, and discharge it through adjust-able, variable sweep fingers. Re-jected sticks, stones, woodchips and other trash roll back to a refuse chute for separate discharge. The high discharge of the shredder-mixer permits stockpiling or direct loading of trucks.
